It's Comicpocalypse versus Harvey Pekar! Part one of this two part event starts now as Jakob Brewster sits down with the writer and creator of the autobiographical comic book American Splendor. Fists are thrown, ray guns are fired, and the exact percentage of bad comics is declared! Pekar talks about the contributions of artist Robert Crumb to American Splendor, his thoughts on superhero comics, and discusses the importance of the 2003 cinematic adaptation of his work. Plus more...much, much more. And then Jakob calls Harvey something that he never wants to be called again. This is going to be bloody!!!

 

Also reviews of the Hellboy and Gumby comics offered on Free Comic Book Day.
